    Pre-LCI to LCI tail light adapter plug.

    I have a 2007 530xi which is pre LCI. I love the LCI look and bought a pair of tail lights but I need an adapter plug since they don’t just fit...does anyone have a link where I can buy them? I can’t seem to find the plug only in the USA...

    Any help is appreciated.

    EBay would be your best bet. Or make them yourself. Why wouldn t you just buy the led tail lights that are plug and play? I got a pair actually being delivered tomorrow. I can't wait.

    I bought the OEM tail lights and not aftermarket. I tried looking but I either see headlights or an entire kit. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ll try again.

    I saw that but it's from some other country. Shouldn't be an issue? Also, is all that extra wiring necessary? I see this but it's for an E90...

    Why is all that wire there? Don’t I just need the two cables?

    I couldn't answer that question for you. I just installed led tail lights on mine. Got them from eBay and they fit great and look great.

    Looks beautiful! Are those OEM lights off eBay or another set?

    I got them from eBay. There from a company called depo. They are plug and play.

    I'm sure the extra wiring is there because there probably needs to be an extra wire or two to run up to the lamp module. It's not a simple plug and play as far as I know. The LCI headlights require additional wiring, and if I recall, even an updated lamp module.
